Reviews of Bikemaker

Nice 1/2 hour conversation about bikes with Russell, bike mechanic. In the meantime chainring exchanged and front derailleur adjusted on my winter bike. All works perfectly now. Strongly recommend this guy. Respect... Nothing changed. Still like to visit this guy. Few things to do after winter. He knows what I'm talking about but he looks extremely busy now. Fuel prices plummeting so more people planning to go on the bike 🙂 Still busy but if you book in before, everything what you have to do will be done 👍

Fantastic experience - Russ is super friendly and fixed my bike at very short (ie zero) notice. I went in to get a puncture fixed because frankly I was too lazy to take 30 mins to dig out my pump and tools and fight with tight tyres etc, and it's nice to support your local store. Aside from fixing it on the spot, he also noticed how out of whack my rear spokes were and trued those... immediate improvement/ No wonder it felt like I was riding with the brakes partially on. All that and good value on parts and servicing compared to many/most/maybe all other places - and no waiting. I love that Russ will just fix the parts you need. In some places you have to wait days (or even weeks) for a full service. Ironically, I got a puncture the next day, but not Russ's fault! I had had 3 punctures in the last 6 months and he showed me how thin my rear tyre was, so we discussed alternatives... now have a bulletproof (well, I won't test that supposition) back tyre that rides much faster on tarmac yet has better tread in mud and gravel. No hard sell at all, just an honest suggestion and recommendation and was very happy to go with that - and it's paying off. There are lots of good bike stores and mechanics in Bristol (see my review for Ben's Bikes or what the Trek store did for me), but Russ will be my first stop for future repairs. Thanks Russ.

Broke my bike in the morning and needed it for work. Came into the shop and it was fixed in 20 minutes. Amazing service, can't recommend enough.

Took my 2nd hand bike for a service - transformative - it now rides like a dream! Smooth gear changes, responsive breaks, rides whisper quiet. He noticed stuff I never would have and even gave it a test ride himself to check it over. Would definitely recommend

A real gem, Russ is a top guy and his work is spot on, he goes above and beyond to help out. It's great to have someone who you can fully trust work on your bike, his pricing is honest and reasonable and he is miles better than the mechanics in the big chains. I would 100% recommend him, your bike will feel brand new after he has worked on it.

Russ has helped with a range of different bike related issues. He's super friendly, efficient and the work is top notch and great value. He uses intuitive and (at times) unconventional methods to solve tricky issues. A real handy man offering a bespoke custom service. Highly recommend.

Very quick and easy - great service

Excellent service, helpful and straight up :) fixed my bike quickly, suggested a range of parts so I could chose to fit my budget and explained what I could expect from it. There is a free tune up on repairs within 6 weeks too. Definitely recommend

Really great service: extremely thorough and very reasonably priced. Have taken my bike in for various things, and he's always worked out what the problem is, and fixed it on the same day. Would highly recommend.

Really nice guy and clearly knows what he's talking about. He will explain things really simply so you understand what's going on. His service is very efficient and done perfectly. Lovely independent bike shop and I will definitely be returning again.

The bikemaker is brilliant. I have an ancient bike and he's fixed it from top to bottom at very reasonable prices. When there's been teething problems with any changes I've gone back and he's always taken the time to make tweaks as soon as he can. He goes above and beyond with fixing my bike and is great at getting in contact with any concerns about the bike.

Big fan of Bikemaker and Russ. Helped me out at short notice a few times and subsequently given him all the work on my bikes (GT MTB and Specialized Hybrid) including servicing, new group sets and minor upgrades. Knowledgeable, honest and reasonably priced thoroughly recommend and will continue to take my bikes there for the servicing and upgrades I have planned. I've used a few places in Bristol incl the high st brands with some mixed results and a few poor experiences so plenty of comparisons.

When it comes to bike shops we are spoilt for choice in Bristol: so many independents out there giving great service and Russ is right up there with the best, in terms of technical skill, warmth, brilliant value and a crazy kind of drive to make any given bike as good as it can be. I took my sadly neglected road bike in there and a week later it was about as close to showroom-new as I could have asked. He did a complete refurb: most of what I took in ended up in the bin, replaced with carefully chosen components that he discussed with me first. I had to spend quite a lot to get the bike I wanted but nearly two thirds of it was on parts and he put in a lot of labour. Very happy with the results. If you love your bike, take it to Russ.

Very good shop. Had repairs done a couple of times and recently got a bargain on a classic MTB. Highly recommended.

Fantastic value. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly as well. My bike genuinely rides the best it ever has after its recent service. Can't fault the guy.
